Key Legislative Contact Information
What is a Key Legislative Contact?
A Key Legislative Contact (KLC) is someone who is interested in making
a difference for their profession by contacting elected officials and
becoming a liaison between them and the MNCPA. If you have a
relationship with a legislator, or are willing to establish one, you are
qualified to become a Key
Legislative Contact.
What do Key Legislative Contacts do?
Use their relationships to educate legislators about, and try to
gain support for, our issues. This can be done through:
- Face-to-face meetings
- Personal letters
- Email conversations
- Phone conversations
What is the time commitment?
Minimal - the time it takes to write a letter or make a
phone call (we provide a form letter).
Most likely there will only be a few times during each
legislative session that we would ask our KLC’s to contact
their Legislators.
Why should I get involved?
- Legislators are far more receptive to issues and ideas when they hear
them from people they know personally, or from constituents
that take the time to meet with them
- The more contacts we have, the larger and more influential our voice
will be at the Capitol
- Your relationship with a key legislator could be highly
beneficial to our chances of success on a bill
- Key Legislative Contacts have been and will continue to be, a critical part
of our success at the Capitol
How do I get involved?
If you have a relationship with a legislator or are willing to establish one,
simply fill out the Become a Key Legislative
Contact form. We will then contact you when we need you to get in touch
with your legislators.
